Hdle obv. embossed view of Washington’s Headquarters at “Newburgh.”
BL: monogrammed” “May 2 ’96.”
No maker name.
Stamped: Patented.
Retailer: W.H. Lyon.
Length: 4 ½ inches.
Cost: $36.00
This spoon, which depicts the historical Washington Headquarters, though simple in design, is one of the handsomest on the market. This is owing to the unusual excellence of the die, which reproduces the minutest details, giving the scene a most surprising reality. The finest of engravings could not produce more detail. The surrounding trees stand out in relief, and seem separate from one another, though the appearance of the grove is preserved. The landscape is arranged lengthwise along the top of the handle, and the oxidizing of that portion of the spoon enhances the general effect. The word, “Newburgh,” curved, in small letters just beneath the view, comprises the remainder of the design. The bowl and back of the spoon are bright finished, and entirely free from ornamentation.. W. H. Lyon, Newburgh, N.Y., has patented and controls the sale of this article, which is made in tea, orange, and other sizes., — Anton Hardt. Adventuring Further in Souvenir Spoons. p. 22
